At a meeting of the Union Lea^'ue Club, held at the Chib 
House on Nov. 3, 1854, George Bltss, Jr., called the attention 
of the members to the fact that Mr. George W. Blunt had 
suggested through the newspapers the propriety of a move- 
ment to provide a Thanksgiving Dinner for the Soldiers and 
Sailors, and moved the following resolution, which was unani- 
mously adopted : 



Remlved, That a committee be appointed to cooperate in tlie 
movement for providing a Thanksgiving Dinnc-r for Soldiers and 
Sailors at the front. 



The undersigned having been appointed such committee, at 
once issued the following appeal, thougli we knew that it 
would receive little attention till after the excitement attend- 
ing the pending election had passed away : 

Thanksgiving Dinner for the Soldiers and Sailors. 

The undersigned, a Committee appointed at a meeting held at 
the Union League Club House, appeal U) tlie people of the Xorth 
to join tliera in an eifort to furnish to our gallant soldiers and sail- 
ors a good Thanksgiving Dinner. We desire that on the twenty- 
fourth day of November there shall be no soldier in the Army of 
the Potomac, the James, the Shenandoah, and no sailor in the 



North Atlantic Squadron who does not receive tangible evidence 
that those for whom he is periling his life, remember him. It is 
hoped that the armies at the West will be in like manner cared for 
by those nearer to them than we. It is deemed impracticable to 
send to our more Southern posts. 

To enable us to carry out our undertaking we need the active 
co-operation of all loyal people in the North and East, and to them 
we confidently appeal. We ask primarily for donations of cooked 
poultry and other proper meats, as well as for mince pies, sausages 
and fruit. If any person is so situated as to be unable to cook the 
poultry or meat, we will receive it uncooked. To those who are 
unable to send donations in kind, we appeal for generous contribu 
tions in money. Will not every wife who has a husband, every 
mother who has a son, every sister who has a brother serving in 
the armies or navies of the Union feel that this appeal is to her per- 
sonally, and do her part to enable us to accomplish our undertaking ? 
Will not all who feel that we have a country worth defending and 
preserving, do something to show those who are fighting our battles 
that they are remembered and honored ? Will not the press and 
the clergy lend their aid to the movement ? 

We will undertake to send to the front all donations in kind that 
may reach us on or before November 20, and to see that they are 
properly and equally distributed. They should be wrapped in 
wliite paper, boxed, and addressed to George W. Blunt, Getty's 
Building, Trinity Flace, New York. If uncooked, it should be so 
marked on the outside of the box, and a list of the contents should 
accompany the box. None should be sent which has been cooked 
prior to November 14. Uncooked poultry or meat should reach us 
on or before November 18, that it may be cooked here. 

Contributions in money should be sent to Theodore Roosevelt, 
Treasurer, No. 94 Maiden Lane, or to any member of the Committee. 

The time is short, and we trust that no one will wait to be per- 
sonally solicited. Will not some person in every city and town of 
the North and East volunteer, however, to canvass his own city or 
town ? 

The American, Adams, Ilarnden, National, Kingsley, Hope, Long 
Island and United States Express Companies have geuerously 
oiFered to transmit to this city, free of ch.irge, all boxes addressed 
as above, and it is not doubted that f)ther Express Companies will 
do the same. 



The following letter was received from Commander John 
Rodgers : 



New York, Nov. 4, 1864 



Dear Blunt, 



It is proposed by the good gentlemen of this city, to send a 
Thanksgiving Dinner to the Army of the Potomac, and the fleet in 
the James River. 

Tlie thought is a grand one, not that the mere food is of so much 
value, though that is ver^' important to the thousands of happy 
men who will receive it, but far more encouraging will be the 
comfort of knowing that the people eating their Thanksgiving 
dinners at home, think not only of their friends in the army, but 
as well of those of that gallant body who have no friends and 
no ties of kindred to make them remembered. 

Sailors are cosmopolitan in their habits — they are acquainted in 
every port, and have a home nt)whcre. To the most of them no 
family ties are known — they have outlived away from home the 
offices of kindred. If now to these hermits on the blockade the 
Committee could send a Tlianksgiving Dinner, the food would be 
I'ar more valuable than its mere money's worth. 

No Sanitary Commission extends its aid to them — no friends 
send to tije greater part of them delicacies by Adams Express. 
They are shut oif in a degree from intercourse with the rest of the 
world. It would be particularly grateful to these men to know 
that their cause has raised them friends, whom in days of peace 
they never knew — that though seemingly alone, warm sympathies 
are extended to them in their loneliness. 

What 1 propose is, that every vessel of the blockading fleet on 
our coast, have a Thanksgiving Dinner sent. If it should arrive 
after the regular Thanksgiving Dinner it will not be the less ac- 
ceptable to men to whom any dinnei' fresh from New York will be 
matter of thanksgiving. The means of doing this is already pro- 
vided so far as transportation is concerned, since supply steamers 
run regularly. 

Yours truly, 

John Rodgers. 

Geo. W. Blunt, Esq. 



The sub-corainittee, on prej^ariiig the poultry, called a meet- 
ing of the principal bakers and hotel and restaurant keepers, 
who generously offered their services free of charge, and after 
consultation, suggested the best mode of cooking and packing- 
it. The sub-committee, on packing-boxes and barrels, was able 
to procure donations of a larger number than was needed. 

Immediately after the appointment of the committee, the 
following letters and telegrams were addressed to Generals 
Grant and Sheridan and to Admiral Porter ; 



New York, Nov. 16, 1864. 
LiELTT. Gen. U. S. Grant, 

General : — The enclo?ed circular will explain to you my object in 
writing. I telegraphed you to-day making some ijiquiries. But I re- 
peat tlie substance of them here. 

From present appearances, we t<hall have 80,000 to 100,000 pounds 
of cooked poultry, besides several thousand pies, some cheese, apples, 
cakes, &c., &c., for our soldiers. They will be la-operly boxed and 
barreled and the contents marked on e;ich. The Government will give 
us transportation and we mean the articles sliall leave here so as to be 
at City Point in good season on Wednesday. We shall send one or 
more agents from here with them, but at City Point we are compelled 
to bespeak your kind offices. We desire there to turn them over to 
proper persons who will distribute them fairly to each corps and equally 
in the corps, regard being had to the number of men in the corps. 
The plan which had suggested itself to us was to ask the Sanitary 
Commission to take charge of the distribution through their agents and 
to ask of you to furnish the proper transportation from City Point to 
each corps. This is the arrangement which worked so well with 
the onions sent to the army last July. But of course, if there is any 
objection to it we yield to your views, only asking that the supplies 
shall surely reach the soldiers, not the officers or sutlers. 

Assuming that this or a similar plan will suit you, may we ask that 
you will give such directions that there shall be no delay in unloading 
the transports or in conveying the articles from City Point to the sev- 
eral corps. We would also like to have some one at City Point 
authorized to give our agent the relative — not the absolute — strength of 
each corps. He can then, knowing the entire amount he has, divide 
it properly among the representatives of the several corps. 



May I not ask of you a telegraphic acknowledgment of this letter 
with a statement whether the plan suggested meets your approval ? 

The public, now that the election is over, are coming forward nobly. 
But our time is short, and we are therefore obliged to trouble you 
more than we otherwise would. 

I am, General, 

Your obedient servant, 

George Bliss, Jr., Secretary. 
The poultry will all be cooked. 



New York, Nov. It, 18b4. 
Major General P. H. Sheridan, 

Commanding Middle Department, Winchester : 

New York Committee on Thanksgiving Dinner for Soldiers will send 
to-morrow six thousand uncooked turkeys by rail for Thanksgiving 
Dinner for your gallant army. Should arrive at Harper's Ferry, Mon- 
day. Please care for their fair and equal distribution to the soldiers. 

Geo. Bliss, Jr., 

Secretary. 



New York, Nov. IT, iSM. 
Major General P. H. Sheridan, 
Commanding Middle Department. 

General, — The Committee referred to in the within circular 
propose to send to the noble army under your command, about six 
thousand turkeys or their equivalents, say 48,000 pounds of poultry, 
to provide them with a Thanksgiving dinner. It will be properly 
boxed, and the contents marked on each box. We had intended to send 
them cooked, but the failure of our Philadelphia friends to co-operate 
with us, compels us to send it uncooked. We presume the soldiers 
will find means to cook it. 

These contributions are intended for the brave soldiers in the field. 
We do not want the sutlers to get them, nor the officers, unless there 
is more than enough for the men. 

We are obliged to trouble you for the transportation from Harpers 
Ferry, and for the proper distribution, and beg you on receipt of this 
to inform us by telegraph that this will be attended to. 



8 

The contributions will be forwarded either by Harnden's Express or 
Government transportation ; which of the two is at this raomeat 
uncertain. It is probable we shall send an agent to accompany them. 

I am, General, 

Your obedient servant, 

George Bliss, Jr., Secretary. 



Ne\» York, November 10th, 1864. 
Admiral D. D. Porter, 

Commanding North Atlantic Squadron, 

Admiral : — I have to-day telegraphed you on the matter 
referred to in the within circular, and now repeat the substance of my 
telegram more in detail. 

We want to j^ive a turkey dinner to every sailor in the James and 
at and north of Wilmington. The public seem willing to furnish the 
means to do so, though, as we could do nothing before election, our 
time is short. 

We want to know how many men there are to feed in the vessels 
referred to. The Kensington leaves here for Norfolk Saturday night, 
and unless we are advised to the contrary, we shall send our stores 
by her. They will be in boxes and bariels, and the contents marked 
on each. Will you undertake to see that they are properly distributed 
among the vessels, so that they shall reach the sailors, if we consign 
them to you ? We know that you will do this and shall therefore 
pursue this course. If by any accident we should not send enough for 
all, please decide which vessels should have the preference. 

I am. Admiral, 

Your obedient servant, 

Geo. Bliss, Jr., Secretary. 



General Grant unexpectedly visited this city before our let- 
ter reached him ; and at an interview with Mr. Ward on be- 
half of tlie Committee, he fully entered into the spirit of the 
movement, and gave directions that all necessary facilities 
should be furnished our agents. 



The following replies were received from Gen. Sheridan and 
Admiral Porter : 

Headql^aktkrs, Middle Division, Nov. 19. 
G. Bliss, Jr. 

Dear Sir, — Your telegram advising' me of the shipmeut f)f six 
thousand turkeys for the thanksgiving diuuer of thit- army, is received. 
Permit me, on behalf of the soldiers, to thank the good people of 
New York for their kindness, and to assure them th:it for the occasion 
a more acceptable present could not have been made. Orders have 
been issued for the equal distribution on arrival. 

P. H. Sheridan, Maj.-Gen 



North Atlantic Squadron, U. S. Flag Ship Malvern, ) 
HAMFroN Roads, Nov. 16, 1864. j 

George Bliss, Jr., Esy., Secretary, New York. 

Sir, — Your telcgrauj has been received. In reply 1 beg to inform 
you that there are seventeen thousand men in this Squadron. Six 
men to a turkey will be two thousand eight hundred and thirty three 
turkeys. I don't know how you propose sending them, but I suppose 
in ice. I will see them distributed, and you can send them when it 
suits you. 

Respectfully, your obedient servant, 

David D. Porter, Rear Admiral. 



Money contributions soon began to pour in upon the com- 
mittee from all parts of the country. As complete a list of 
the contributions as possible is annexed hereto. It will be 
perceived that the committee received in money $56,565,83. 
The number of persons contributing and their wide diffusion 
throughout the country, show how general and lively an in- 
terest was taken in the movement. For the purpose of con- 
veying some idea of the feelings which actuated the donors, 
we publish a few of the letters received, selected from among 
many hundreds, breathing a similar spirit.

New York, Nov. U. 1864. 
Geo \V. Blunt, Esq. 

Dear ^^ir -As an old soldier who served through the entire Mexican War, and 
who can now appreciate the kind thoughts of friends at home for those in the 
field, I thank you sincerely for the laudable and patriotic proposition, as well as 
for your active part therein, in i)roviding a good dinner for our brave soldiers 
in the Union army, on the approaching National Thanksgiving. 

Please to accept the enclosed ($10), as an humble mite of mine to aid your 
meritorious purpose, and as the soldier's friend is my friend, permit me to sub- 
scribe myself, Very respectfully and very truly yours, 

H. McD. 



Chaplin, Nov. 18th. 1804. 
Mr. Roosevelt : 

Dear Sir — We wanted to send something to the soldiers, and we had a few 
chickens, but we thought it would be such a small box, that we would sell them, 
and send you the money instead, which we suppose you can use just as well. 
We hope every one of the Union soldiers will have a good dinner on Thanks- 
giving day, and we hope they can all go home by next Thanksgiving. 
Please accept these two dollars herewith enclosed. 

Very re-pectfully yours, 

F. E. G. 
F. A. G. 



Meadville, Nov. ISth, 18()4. 
Theodore Roosevelt, Esq. 

Dear Sir,— Enclosed please find ten dollars. ($10) as a contribution to the 
Thanksgiving dinner for our soldiers and sailors. Having a son in the 111th 
Reg., Peun. Vol., Company A, we hope that Regiment and Company will be 
supplied. We heartily hope that every one of our soldiers and sailors will 
enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner on the 24th of November. We shall enjoy our 
luxurious dinner at home doubly, for feeling that the soldiers who are perilling 
their lives for us in the field have not been forgotten. 

Respectfully yours. Mrs. A. H., Miss H., A. H. 



Stamford, Conn., Nov. 19, 1864. 
TuEODORB Roosevelt, Esq. : 

Dear Sir — Enclosed is draft to your order for $44, being the contributions of 
my school of thirty boys, out of their spending money, in aid of the fund for the 
Soldiers' 'thanksgiving Dinner. They wish me to express the hope that soldiers 
of Granr.'s ifi-my may enjoy the turkeys as much as they do giving the money to 
help to buy them. Yours, W. C. W. 



New York, Nov. 19, 1864. 
Theodore Roosevelt. 

Years have made me exempt. Please accept $5 to furnish a substitute. 

Gobbler.

New Brunswick. Nov. 21, i864. 
Mb. Roosevelt : 

I hope 1 am not too late with my mite for the Soldiers' Thanksgiving Dinner. 
I have been wanting to contribute somethina- towards it, but I did not know 
until Satui day evening, while reading the N. Y. Times, where to send it. I 
shall eat my own dinner with greater satisfaction, if I help to give a Turkey 
dinner to even one brave soldier. Yours respectfully, 

A Friend to the Soldier and Sailor, a strong Union Woman, and 
one who rejoices over the re-election of our noble President. 



New York, Nov. 19, 1864. 
Theodore Roosevelt, Esq.: 

Please accept the enclosed $5 as a small contribution to the Soldiers' Thanks- 
giving. Wish I could afford more. An Alien. S. 



Dear Roosevelt : 

The enclosed $1.25 was handed me by a poor nurse on steamer '• Persia " this 
morning, as a gift to the soldier's dinner. No receipt necessary. W. E. D., Jr. 



Mr. Roosevelt : 



Westport, Fairfield Co. , Conn. 



Two little girls are very anxious to give something to the poor soldiers, the 
one eight years of age, the other four. They send one dollar each, (a small 
part of the receipts of a little fair they held for the Christian Commission) to buy 
something for the Thanksgiving Dinner. From your little friends, 

M. S. & E. F.

Theodore Roosevelt. Esq. 

Dear Sir — Enclosed please find funds to pay tor a Gobbler, to be sent to the Boys

the efforts you are making enable the Boys to Gobble up Jeff, and his traitorous 
host quickly. Hurrah for our country, and our whole country. A. P. 



Hon. H. Greelt. 

Dear Sir,— Please find two dollars from a young lady, who earned it for a

Theouoke Roosevelt, Esq. 

Sir, — Enclosed you will find Ave dollars, the coutribution of an officer's wife, to 
belli swell tbe amount already large, to procure for our dear soldiers a dinner 
on Thauksgiving day. They have most bravely earned it, and will highly 
appreciate this remembrance of them by " loved ones at home.'' As my hus- 
band is now in ■• the valley of the Shenandoah." my sympathies naturally flow 
in that direction. He will be especially remembered. But 1 feel for the soldiers, 
whose privations are necessarily greater than those of officers, and who will bo 
enabled to endure them with more fortitude, knowing that they are remembered 
by those who are engaged in the (jreal work with thciir heuitu if not their hands. 

Very respectfully yours, 

E. S. A. 



Hornellsville, N. Y., Nov. 17, 1864. 

Dear Sir— The ladies of Hornellsville, N. Y., will forward to you by U. S. Ex 
press to-morrow, to reach you on Saturday, a •■dry goods box," full as per ac- 
companying invoice. No forgeries, although two of the Turkies are stufftd each 
with a chicken. If convenient, please sent! this box to the 17t)th Regiment, N. 
Y. v., of which J. W. Robinson, of our village, is surgeon, or else to the 86th, 
in which we have friends. The meats are all cooked and carefully packed. We 
hope it will go safe, and carry a little blessing to some boy away from home, 
Thanksgiving. Yours in Thanksgiving, M. W. 



NtCH-iLs, Tioga Co., N. Y., Nov. 17, 1864. 



G. \V. Bluxt, Esq.,

tomato pickles, 2 bushel apples.

We hope the things will arrive in good order, and do the soldiers good. 

Yours in the good cause, 

C. C. Committee.

East Sheffield, Mass., Nov. 14. 1864. 
Mr Theodore Roosevelt. 

Sir,— Enclosed please find two dollars, to be vised in giving the soldiers and 
sailors a Thanksgiving dinner. I like the arrangement very mnch. I have 
been a soldier over three years, in the 7th Ohio Infantry : was in Hooker's 20th 
'• Star Corps.'' I got shot through the face at Port Republic. June f)th, 1862, 
and lost the index finger on my left hand near Dallas, Geo., May 2.5th, 1864. So 
I ajn interested very much in the soldier's welfare. 1 hope they will all have 
reason to feel that they are remembered by their friends at home. 

Yours truly. C. L. K. 



Charlestown. N. H., Nov. 18th, 1864. 
Geo. W. Blunt. Esq. 

Dear Sir,— We send you to-day 1 box containing 3 turkeys, cooked ; 4 chickens, 
cooked ; 6 lb. sausages, cooked ; 6 lb. sausages, not cooked ; 1 can cider apple 
sauce ; 1 box ginger bread : and box filled with apples. Would like them sent 
to onr boys in the Shenandoah Valley, Co. B, 14th Reg., New Hamp. Vol ; but, 
if not convenient, no matter; if any of our brave boys have the pleasure of eating 
the good things, we don't care which State they belong to. 

Yours respectfully, C. H. W. 



Plymouth Hollow. Conn., Nov. 17, 1864. 
Tfieodore Roosevklt : 

Dear Sir -I enclose five dollars for soldiers' Thanksgiving Dinner. I desire 
to do something, and every little helps. 1 can eat my own dinner on that day 
with more satisfaction if 1 find provision has been made for soldiers making 
sacrifices for us. Yours truly, 

H. T. 



Potsdam, Nov. 15, 1864. 
Mr. Blunt. 

Dear Sir. -We have consigned a box to your care, marked Daily Ridge, Pots- 
dam; the contents aie. 6 turkeys, 16 chickens, a little cheese, a little butter, some 
cakes, enough to fill up ihe box. If you can find it convenient to send it to 
Co. I, 142 Regt., N. Y. S. V.. 1st Brigade. 2nd Division, lOth Corps, Fortress 
Monroe. Va., we would like it, as we have sons and brothers there, and anything 
from home would tasie better to the soldier than from any place else : but if not 
convenient, send it somewhere else. We shall not find fault if some brave fellow 
battling for his country gets it. M. E. 



Meadville. Nov. 23, 1864. 
Mr Roosevelt. 

Dear Sir, — I am sorry to find on inquiring this morning, that our mite has not 
been sent ; hoping it may not be too late I enclose two dol'ars. We have none 
ol'our owii f imily in the army ; but we claim all the soldiers as our '• brothers," 
and could not eat our dinner to-morrow with happy hearts, without feeling that 
we had done what we could for our dear brothers. 

Respectfully, M.S. C.

WiLLiAMSTowN, Vt., Nov. 19, 1864. 
Thkodoeb Roosevelt, Esq. 

Dear Sir, — I am a man of small means and have numbered some over four 
score years, still 1 consider it a privilege to contribute according to my ability 
for the comfort of soldiers in the field and hospitals ; 1 therefore enclose one 
dollar towards supplying them with a Thanksgiving dinner. I also enclose one 
dollar, sent by a friend of mine, (J. M. A son of his, Lieut. W. H. M., was killed 
in the battle of the Wilderness ; another son of his, and his only child, is lying 
in Patterson hospital with his left leg amputated. 

Yours truly, D. P. 



Pluckamin, N. J.. Nov. 14, 1864. 
Mb. Theodore Roosevelt. 

Dear Sir, — Enclosed please find one dollar towards the blessed enterprise of 
giving our brave and noble soldiers and sailors a Thanksgiving dinner. I well 
know how they will appreciate such a dinner, as I mysh'lf have been a soldier, 
and know what hard tack and salt pork is. God bless our brave soldiers and 
seamen. Yours &c., D. H. W. 



New York, Nov. 9. 18(i4. 
Theodore Roo.sevelt, Esq. 

Dear Sir, — Not being able to send you a cooked turkey for the soldiers, please 
find enclosed the amount that will, I trust, buy a large one. The good news of 
to-day ought to open every Union man'.s purse as well as his heart. 

Yours truly. Union. 



Newbergh, Nov. 19. 1864. 

De.ar Sir, — Please find enclosed $10, as a small contribution to the '• turkey 
fund " for the soldiers, Irom a devoted frieud and well-wisher to our army, and 
also as a token of gratitude for the late election. 

Yours truly, Newbdboh. 



Of the funds received 151,502.93 were expended in the pur- 
chase of 146,586 pounds of poultry throui^h Messrs. A. & E. 
Robbins, who generously donated the entire amount of 
profits on our orders amounting to $3,386.64. $1,162.77, 



15 

were expended for dressing and packing of the poultry pur- 
chased; $500 were expended for apples to send to Newborn, 
and $2,054.27 for incidental expenses. There remains on hand 
a balance of $1,298.86, as per Treasurer's report annexed. 

Within two or three days after the appointment of your 
committee, the Secretary wrote to the President of the Union 
League Club of Philadelphia, asking their co-operation and 
suggesting that they should take charge of the supply for the 
Army in the Valley of the Shenandoah. This suggestion, 
though causing considerable correspondence, led to no tan- 
gible result. 

Though your Committee were informed in various ways 
that large contributions in kind were in course of preparation, 
it was not until Friday, Nov. 18, that they began to arrive. 
The Collector of the Port had, with the approval of Mr. 0. 
W. F. Randolph, the lessee of the spacious bonded warehouse, 
known as Getty's Buikling, in Trinity Place, tendered to the 
Committee the free use of his store for receiving and pack- 
ing goods. The various Express Companies as stated in the 
circular, brought goods free of charge, while with few excep- 
tions, the cooperage, packing and carting were done gratu. 
itously. The number of boxes and barrels received by your 
Committee was exceedingly large. It amounted to not less 
than 3.800, most of them arriving on Friday and Saturday, 
though some were delayed until Monday. Many of them 
came without invoices or other means to enable your com- 
mittee to judge of their contents. As it was necessary that 
most of the goods should be shipped as early as Sunday 
noon, it was impossible for us to examine and repack the 
articles. We were obliged to ship them without obtaining 
any definite knowledge of the nature or amount of the 
contents. 

In many instances articles were sent to us to be forwarded 
to particular individuals, companies or regiments. Your 
Committee had not offered to do this and though they had 



16 

every disposition to oblige the senders, they found that it was 
absolutely impossible. Had we undertaken thus to gratify the 
wishes of individuals, we should necessarily have failed in our 
general undertakivig. The consequence was that all such con- 
tributions were directed to be put in with the general supply. 
As we sent none of the supplies in kind received by us to the 
Army of the Shenandoah or to the fleet, there is of course no 
chance that any boxes intended for particular individuals serv- 
ing in that army or fleet reached them, but the donors may feel 
sure that they reached some soldier fighting for our homes and 
friends. Many of the contributors indeed, while marking their 
boxes for their husbands, fathers, brothers, sons or townsmen, 
wrote to say that the marks were merely intended to indicate 
their preferences and that they would be quite content to 
leave them wholly at the disposal of your Committee. It will 
be perceived, however, from the report of Capt. Bronson, that 
so far as possible he sent to the persons to whom they were 
addressed boxes for individuals in the armies of the Potomac 
and James. 

Admiral Paulding kindly placed at the disposal of the Com- 
mittee, sufficient room in the steamer Kensington, bound for 
Norfolk for the contributions intended for the squadron under 
Admiral Porter, and detained her till our boxes were ready. 
Though the Admiral had estimated that one turkey would 
answer for six men, your Committee determined to send one 
turkey or eight pounds of poultry for every four persons. We 
shipped by the Kensington 30,300 pounds of poultry, consigned 
to Admiral Porter, who it will be seen by his letter had under- 
taken to care for the distribution. As the ships all have con- 
veniences for cooking and our facilities in this respect were 
limited, the poultry for the Navy was sent uncooked. 

At the request of your Committee Mr. Jerome Chappell un- 
dertook to accompany the articles, and, under Admiral Porter's 
directions, to assist in the distribution. The following report 
from Mr. Chappell, will show the fulfillment of his task.

"CoLONKL Geo. Bliss, Jr., Svrdary of New Y<}-1 TlianLsfjivi'ig 
Committee : 

"Dear Sir— Tu pursuance of your instructions of the 18th in- 
stant, I proceeded to Portress Monroe, on board the United States 
steamer Kensino-ton, havin.^ on board the Thanks.^ivin,^ dinner for 
tiie sailors attached to the fleet commanded by Admiral Porter. 

'• I arrived at Fortress Monroe on the morning of the 22d instant, 
and reported to the Admiral, and at his request and in pursuance; 
of orders received from him, distributed the poultry to the pay- 
masters of the various vessels, according to the number of the crew 
reported on board them, respectively. 

"I also, in pursuance of orders received from the Admiral, for- 
warded to York River, one thousand uine hundred and fifty pounds 
of poultry for the crews of the vessels there stationed. On the 23d 
instant I proceeded to Norfolk, and there distributed, by the direc- 
tion of the Admiral, the remainder of tlie poultry — with the ex- 
ception of about four hundred pounds — which I turned over to the 
Admiral to be distributed to the crew of any vessel that might 
arrive. 

'■■ I regret being obliged to report, that Admiral Porter thought 
it not advisable to attempt to supply the crews attached to the 
more southei'n vessels of the squadron The weather was warm 
and rainy, and the Admiral thought if he attempted to forward any 
of the poultry to them, it might become tainted before reaching its 
destination. I regretted this conclusion the more as I knew it was 
precisely these vessels which you most desired to reach. 

"•The receipts herewith show a distribution to sixty-six vessels 
specified. This is exclusive of a large amount sent to the vessels 
in the York and James rivers, for which my receipts are in gross 
without specifying vessels. 

" In conclusion, I desire to tender my thanks to Captain Jno. E 
Rockwell of the Kensington, and to the various officers attached 
to the vessel, for the assistance rendered me in distributing the 
poultry, and for the kindness and attention shown me during my 
trip. 

" The poultry was received with great satisfaction by the sailors, 
who more than once broke out into cheers for the donors. 

"I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

Jerome Chavveli."

•' To the GommiUee of the Union League Club of the City of New 
York : 

" Gentlemen : I have to thank you in behalf of the officers and 
men of this squadron for the bountiful supply of poultry sent them 
for their Thanksgiving Dinner. It is to be regretted that the 
weather forced a distribution to the vessels in this vicinity only, 
those on the blockade and in the sounds of North Carolina being 
at too great a distance to receive their supply. 

" An attention of this kind to the seamen of our navy never oc- 
curred before, and in offering my thanks for the kind thoughtful- 
ness of the Union League Club, who have thus evinced their appre- 
ciation of the arduous duties the squadron are now engaged upon, 
and the desire that there should be no sailor in the North Atlantic 
Squadron who does not receive tangible evidence that those for 
whom he is thus perilling his life remember him, I feel that 1 but 
faintly evince the feeling of gratification and satisfaction of the men 
whose services as a class have been so little appreciated. 

"The officers and men of the Sounds and on the blockade, 
though receiving none of the benefits of your kindness, appreciate 
most fully the intention, and rejoice that though they lost, their 
more fortunate comrades came in for a double share. 

" I have the honor to be, very respectfully, 

" David D. Porter, Rear- Admiral, 

" Commanding North Atlantic Squadron." 

At the late hour when your Committee found that, in conse- 
quence of the failing of Philadelphia to co-operate, the supply 
of the army of the Shennndoah must be provided for by them, 
they deemed themselves fortunate in being able to induce Capt, 
George F. Noyes, formerly of Gen. Wads worth's staff, to 
accompany the articles intended for that array. The following 
report from Capt. Noyes will show how energetically, faithfully 
and successfully lie performed his duty : 



19 

New York. Nov. 27, 1864. 
Col. George Bliss, Jr., 

Secretary of New York Thanksgiving Committee. 

Dear Sir :— 

I have great pleasure in reporting that the 
Thanksgiving dinner for Gen. Sheridan's army arrived safely, was 
received with great enthusiasm, and that our mission has been a com- 
plete success. We reached Winchester, Tuesday evening, and the 
same night the twenty-five waggon loads of poultry came in under 
heavy escort, a fair proportion — six thousand pounds — having been 
left behind at Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg. 

The next morning Gen. Sheridan sent in an aid and ambulance to 
take us to his Headquarters, and during our two days stay he proved, 
by his kindness to us, as your representatives, that he is not only a dis- 
tinguished soldier, but also a most hospitable host and courteous gentle- 
man. He issued strict orders that your gifts should be distributed only 
among the enlisted men, and by Wednesday night, through the active ex- 
ertions of Col. Kellogg, Chief Comraissory on his staff, and his subor- 
dinates, the distribution was fully and fairly made. To supply incoming 
scouting parties, and to meet any complaint of short allowance in any 
quarter, I requested Col. Kellogg to retain a few hundred pounds, so 
that all raitrht fairly share your bounty. Thanks to the very cold 
weather of Tuesday and Wednesday we found the turkeys in first 
rate condition. I enclose herewith Col. Kellogg's receipt and statement 
of distribution. 

The next day — Thanksgiving day —we rode over part of our line, 
and" made personal inquiries andinspection as to the practical result of 
our mission. The want of proper appliances compelled most of the men 
to broil or stew their turkeys, but every one seemed fully satisfied, and 
appreciated the significance of this sympathetic thank-offering from the 
loyal North. One soldier said to me, " It isn't the turkey, but the 
idea that we care for," and he thus struck the key-note of the whole 
festival. Could the donors of this Thanksgiving gift have been with 
us on this ride, they would have felt satisfied that, whether as a token 
of grateful appreciation of past valor, or as the inspiration of future 
eifort in the good cause, it had not been made in vain. 

I enclose herewith a letter of acknowledgment from Gen. Sheridan, 
whose headquarters we left on Friday morning. In conclusion, I 
desire to tender my thanks to H. W. Domett, Esq., who acccompanied 
and aided me, and to Mr. Herring, Agent of Harnden & Go's. Express 
at Baltimore, to Col. Newport, Chief Quartermaster of that city, to 



20 



Capt. Flagg, A.Q. M, at Harper's Ferry, to the members of Geueral 
Sheridan's staff, and to every officer whom it was my privilege tc 
meet in and beyond Winchester, for a kindness and attention which 
made my trip so pleasant and satisfactory. 

I am, very respectfully, 

Your obedient servant, 

George F. Noyes.

Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, 1864. 
Geo. Bliss, Jr., 

Secretary, New York City. 

Dear Sir : — Your communication of the 17th inst., with 
circular, is received. The poultry so generously furnished my troops, 
under the superintendence of Messrs. George F. Noyes and H. W. 



21 

Domett of your city, has been equally distributed ; and I am con ti dent 
that as I write — noon Thanksgiving day — many of our gallant soldiers 
are tacitly blessing those at home, for the kind remembrance so sulj- 
stantially manifested. For them I again thank you. Messrs. Noyes 
and Domett will leave for your city to-morrow ; by them you will be 
advised of all particulars. 

I am, Sir, 

Yours respectfully, 

P. H. Sheridan, Maj.-Gen. 



The armies of the Potomac and James of course required the 
largest portion of the supphes, which the bount}^ of the people 
placed at our disposal. To them we sent all the contributions 
in kind which we received, and a considerable portion of the 
poultry we purchased. The Government placed at our disposal 
the fine new propeller, Charles C. Leary, whose owner, Arthur 
Learv, Esq., and master, Capt. Sullivan, manifested great 
interest in our undertaking. We commenced shipp.ng on 
Saturday morning and finished at an early hour on Sunday. 
She sailed at 2 o'clock on the latter day, having on board about 
y, 100 boxes and barrels. After the Leary sailed we received 
;ibout TOO packages, which we shipped on the beautiful 
steamer James T. Brady, which was most generously ten- 
dered us by her owner, Arthur Leary, Esq. She left on Monday. 
We had the good fortune to procure the services of Captain 
Theodore B. Bronson, one of the United States Allotment Com- 
missioners for the State of New York, and late Provost Marshal 
of the Sixth District, to take charge of these articles. He 
sailed on the Charles E. Leary. Mr. E. R. Agnew and two 
gentlemen of Jersey City accompanied him. The annexed 
report will show how well he executed his laborious under, 
taking amid manifold difficulties : 

New York, December 5, 1864. 
" CoL. George Bliss, Jr., Secretary: 

" Dear Sir — Having had the honor to be appointed by your Com- 
mittee to take charge of the distribution of the Thanksgiving Din- 



22 

ner to the soldiers of the armies of the Potomac and James, I beg 
to express my sense of the confidence reposed in me by you, and 
to thank you for the opportunity of co-operating in so noble an ex- 
pression of the sympatliy of the North with our brave soldiers in 
the field. The new propeller Charles C. Leary, Captain James Sul- 
livan, having been placed at the disposition of your Committee by 
the Government, was loaded and despatched on her errand of good 
will on Sunday, November 20, at 2 p. m. The weather was stormy, 
with heavy head sea during the entire passage, and our arrival at 
Fortress Monroe was thereby much delayed, as we did not reach 
there until Tuesday evening The usual trip is thirty hours. 
We remained at anchor during the night, and started for City Point 
at daylight on Wednesday morning, and arrived there at about 
6 P.M. Ihe navigation of the James is very difficult, hence our de- 
tention at Fortress Monroe until daylight. 

On our arrival at City Point I immediately reported at Head- 
quarters to Lieutenant-General Grant, and at my particular re- 
quest, facilities were afforded me to discharge our cargo at once, 
which I was very anxious to do on account of the perishable nature 
of the same, and our unusual detention ; accordingly. Captains 
Thompson and Ames, depot commissaries, were deputed to aid me, 
and to these officers I beg to express my tlianks for the hearty and 
prompt co-operation afforded by them. 

We commenced at 7 p. m. with a large gang of negroes, and 
by dint of the most active exertion finished discharging the cargo 
by 8 A. M., Thanksgiving Day. To Messrs. J. Owen Rouse and 
Heni-y A. Green, of Jersey City, who accompanied me on behalf of 
the ladies of that city to superintend their special contributions, I 
beg to tender my thanks for their most efficient aid. Fortunately 
the weather had become very cold, which tended much to the pre- 
servation of our cargo. The negroes Avorked with great spirit, and 
enlivened the scene by their own peculiar songs ; our gangs were 
renewed during the night, so that the greatest despatch was en- 
sured. 

I superintended in person the work during the entire night, 
and found that I was kept sufficiently occupied in watching the 
negroes, as some of them were inclined for a premature Thanks- 
giving Dinner, while others would secrete themselves behind the 
cases in order to be more iully prepared therefor by a refreshing 
slumber. One of them gave it as his opinion " that there was goin' 
to be a big ball somewhar." As soon as we had our freight all 
upon the dock, the work of putting the same on the cars commenced. 
And here let me remark upon the utter impossibility of making 
other than the distribution we made. Our contributions in kind 



23 

were quite as large as the purchases made by your committee, and 
the conteuts miscellaneous — peanuts, pickles, periodicals, tapioca, 
turnips and tracts ; these, with turkeys, pies, ducks, geese and 
chickens, made a total which defied the four rules of arithmetic. 
On consultation with Captains Thompson and Ames it was decided 
to assort the varieties as much as possible and to distribute in bulk. 

There were numerous packages sent to individuals ; these were 
forwarded as directed as far as possible, although your instructions 
to me were clear on that point, viz : " You will find many parcels 
addressed to particular individuals or regiments. In all cases we 
have refused to undertake to deliver these as directed. If conve- 
nient to do so, of course, we will, but do not delay on that account." 

A part of our cargo found its way to its final destination on 
Thanksgiving day. At twelve m. I telegraphed to your Committee 
the progress made, and at the same time hearing nothing of the 
James T. Brady, which was to bring the balance of our cargo, I 
telegraphed to Fortress Monroe, but being informed by the opera- 
tor at Lieutenant-General Grant's Headquarters that he had heard 
from the operator at Jamestown, that there was a steamer ashore 
below there loaded with Thanksgiving dinner for soldiers, applica- 
tion was immediately made to Colonel Bradley, who at once placed 
a steamboat at my disposal to go to her assistance. We left at 
two p. M., and reached the Brady at six p. m., finding her ashore at 
Hog Island Shoals, about fifty miles below City Point, on the James 
River ; after toiling for three hours unsuccessfully to get her off in 
company with the tugboat Pierce, I took her freight and headed 
for City Point, and reported, on my arrival, to Captain Thompson 
at three a. m. Friday. Our freight was all discharged by eleven a. . 
M. Meantime, the freight of the Leary had been distributed, and 
the trains and boats were again in requisition for that of the 
Brady Some of the packages being broken, particularly several 
large boxes of poultry, the same were carefully re-packed in bar- 
rels. Many of the boxes required re-nailing and hooping ; this was 
promptly done, as some half dozen coopers were placed at my 
disposal. 

I have been thus explicit in this report, as I am anxious that no 
blame should attach to the Committee on account of the delay, 
which is, I think, satisfactorily accounted for. 

Here follows the report of Captain Thompson to me : 

City Point, Va., November 30th, 1864. 

T. B. Bronson, Esq., 

Dear Sir : — I submit for your information, the 
following items in regard to the distribution of poultry, &c., sent 



24 

by tlie people of the North for a soldiers' Thanksgiving dinner. It 
was distributed to the officers designated to receive it in amounts 

as follows ; 

Four car-loads to Lieut.-Col. Jos. S. Smith, C. S., Second Corps. 

Pour car-loads to Capt. S. R. Steele, C. S., Fifth Corps. 

Four car-loads to Lieut. D. S. Tompkins, Ninth Corps. 

Two car-loads to Capt. E. A. Fobes, C. S., Cavalry Army of 
Potomac. 

One car-load to Capt. J. R. Coxe, C. S., Headquarters Army of 
Potomac* 

An amount equal to four car-loads was sent to Jones's Landing 
for the Array of the James, under charge of Captain R. W. Thomp- 
son, Jr., C. S., besides a large amount sent lo Captain W. P. Mar- 
tin, C. S., at Bermuda Hundred, for distribution to detachments in 
that vicinity. One car-load was sent to Wilson's Wharf for that 
place, Harrison's Landing and Fort Powhatan. Besides these 
amounts, I distributed to troops at City Point — comprising the En- 
gineer Brigade, Twentieth New York State Militia, Tenth and 
Twenty-eighth United States colored troops, General Hospital, guard 
and troops at General Grant's headquarters, detachments, batteries 
and employees, a liberal allowance. I hear from all quarters that 
the articles were received and enjoyed as soldiers alone can enjoy 
such muniiicence. I am informed unofficially that the Array of the 
Potomac has been bountifully supplied, and have flattering re- 
ptjrts from different sections of the army that the bounty has every 
where been thankfully received. 

Very truly yours, 

George F. Thompson, Capt and C. S. 



On Saturday, November 26, I started on my visit to the front, 
and was greatly gratified to find that the promptness of the distri- 
bution had exceeded my anticipations. Our freight had reached 
its final destination, in all cases that came under my observation, 
in very good order. This fact, wliich I learned on particular inves- 
tigation, was most satisfactory. Several of the soldiers of one 
regiment remarked that ' they had plenty of turkey, just as much 
as they wanted — it made them feel good ; but the fact that they 
were remembered by tliose at home made them feel better ;" and I 

* Each car has a capacity of 200 barrels. 



25 

feel confident that this glorious outpouring of the heart of the North, 
the kindly contributions of the farmyard and the fireside to those 
loved ones now standing by the camp fire and on the picket line, 
will be more than appreciated, and that their arms will be nerved 
for even braver deeds. 

Respectfully yours, 

Theodore B. Bronson, 
Special Agent, Com. on Thanksgiving Dinner. 



The aggregate amount of contributions received and for. 
warded by your Committee cannot be accurately given, for the 
reason that, as already stated, many of the packages received 
came unacompanied by invoices, and your Committee were un- 
able to examine them. But from a careful analysis of such in- 
invoices as were sent, your Committee are satisfied that they 
received and forwarded at least 225,000 lbs. poultry. This 
Avas in aaddition to 148,586 pounds purchased by the Com- 
mittee, and was in addition also to an enormous quantity 
of cakes, doughnuts, gingerbread, pickles, preserved fruits, 
apples, vegetables, and all the other things which go to 
make up a Northern Thanksgiving Dinner ; of the amount 
of these your Committee have not ventured even to make 
an estimate. In our opinion we forwarded in the aggregate 
a sufficient amount to have given a good Thanksgiving 
dinner to every soldier in the armies of the Shenandoah, 
Potomac and the James' and in the North Atlantic Squadron, 
and if any did not receive a sufiicient amount — and there were 
doubtless many such cases — it arose from the difficulty of 
access to them or the accidental omissions and oversights 
necessarily accompanying a distribution of a large amount of 
supplies to so large a number of men within a very short time. 



Even after the Brady had left, boxes continued to arrive. 
Finding that we were likely to have not only a surplus of con- 
tributions in kind, but a considerable amount of money, we 
determined to see that the troops in the hospitals and forts in 



26 

and around this city were fully supplied with a good Thanks- 
giving dinner. After making careful inquiry as to what was 
being done by others, we found that the Board of Brokers had 
made an appropriation, and the Committee having it in charge, 
agreed on our suggestion, to care for the inmates of the Soldier's 
Home in Howard St., and of the Hospital corner of 51st St. and 
Lexington Avenue. We found also that in many of the 
hospitals partial supplies had been provided. We sent to 
Willets Point about 12,000 pounds of poultry besides a consid- 
erable amount of apples, turnips, potatoes, cakes, <fec., and fifty 
dollars in money, which, with articles from other sources, fully 
supplied its inmates. We also sent to Fort Hamilton 24 boxes 
and barrels, to Fort Lafayette 8 boxes, to Bedloes Island 6 
boxes, to Governor's Island 26 boxes, to the fort at Sandy Hook 
260 pounds poultry, to the receiving ship Vermont 34 boxes, to 
ship Newbern 9 boxes, to Navy Yard 21 boxes, to St. Luke's 
Hospital 6 boxes, to the New England Rooms 30 boxes, 
to Fort Richmond 18 boxes, to Fort Schuyler 24 boxes, to 
Transit Hospital at the Battery 8 boxes, to Central Park 
Hospital 7 boxes. We also offered to supply the hospitals 
at Baltimore, and that at Portsmouth Grove, and the soldiers 
at Annapolis, but our assistance was not needed. After 
Thanksgiving we sent eleven cases received too late to the 
iron clad Dictator, lying in the harbor of New York, and on 
Dec. 3, we sent to the soldiers at Newbern and elsewhere in 
North Carolina, about 260 barrels of supplies, which would bear 
the delay, including one hundred barrels of apples purchased 
by us. Mr. Frank Whitney accompanied them, and reports 
the performance of his duty as follows : 



New York, Dec. 17th, 1864, 
George Bliss, Jr., Secretary, 

Dear Sir : — In pursuance of instructions received from you, I 
sailed Sunday, Dec 3d, in U. S. steamer Ellen S. Terry, for New- 
bern, N. C, in charge of donations for soldiers at or near that 
point. Monday night we made for Fortress Monroe, the weather 



27 

being- threatening, and stayed there until Wednesday, -arriving at 
Newborn Friday night. 

Saturday morning I called upon Brig. Gen. Harland, Maj. Gen. 
Palmer being sick, who upon learning the nature of my mission at 
once ofiered me every facility for carrying it out. By his dii-ection 
I called upon Capt. J. A. Judson, A. A. G., who promptly gave the 
matter his attention. At his suggestion and with the help of Capt. 
Holden, A. Q. M., I had the goods taken to a store that night. On 
Sunday I again called upon Capt. Judson, who gave me a com- 
plete list of the different organizations and numbers of troops in 
each, situated at Newbern and Beaufort. As the contents of many 
of the packages were in danger of spoiling and considerable delay 
must necessarily ensue in waiting for water transportation to 
other points, I deemed it best to confine the distribution to these 
two points, Beaufort being readily reached by rail from Newbern. 
Most of the troops were absent on an expedition, but were ex- 
pected back the next day. I made the division equally among 
them, and Capt. Judson kindly offered to take entire charge of the 
distribution when the troops returned. He caused letters to be ad- 
dressed to the commander of each organization, instructing him 
to send at once for his portion of the donations and explaining the 
possibility of some of the packages proving damaged. 

Having made this arrangement I returned on the Ellen E. Terry 
to this city. Capt. Wm. H. Chapin, of this vessel, insisted upon 
contributing to your fund the amount of my bill for subsistence. 
The amount was twenty-seven dollars. 

Very respectfully. 

Your obedient servant, 

F. Whitney. 
George Bliss, Jr., Esq, New York. 



The want of invoices already referred to prevents us from 
giving a complete list of the names of those who sent contribu- 
tions in kind. In many cases, too, the boxes arrived so late 
that though they had marks showing who sent them, we had 
to ship them at once, without detaining them even long enough 
to copy the maiks. We feel no hesitation, however, in saying 
that we received all that was intended for us. The contribu- 
tions came from every New England State, from New York, 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. 



28 

The spirit in which the eatables were received by the soldiers, 
was no less gratifying than that exhibited by the senders. 
Many persons had placed in the boxes prepared by them their 
names, with some kind word added. The recipients of these 
boxes in many instances took the pains to write letters of ac 
knowledgment. We annex copies of a few which have come to 
our hand : 



Before Petebsburg, Virginia. Nov. 25, 1864. 
Mrs. S.B. B. 

Norwich : 

Friend of the soldier — I cannot refrain from embracing the opportunity of 
sending a letter free to yon for the kindness you have bestowed toward the sol 
dier in the field. Thanksgiving day is over, and a happy one it was ; indeed, I 
cannot express ray thanks towards you for kindness toward the soldiers. We 
feel proud to think over it. that our patriotic citizens at home have not forgotten 
us yet, after over three yeans' battling for the nation, but we hope to Goi we 
may soon reward you for your kindness with the one great boon yet needed. — 
an honorable peace, which will banish from the fields of the south the camps of 
the invader, and the avenging soldier of the Union, and the misguided soldier 
of the confederacy -a peace which will permit our ruined towns to be repopu- 
lated, which will replace the clash of arms with the tranquil hum of industry. 
It has happened that the mess 1 belong to got the turkey with your name at- 
tached to it, so I came to a conclusion io leL you know that the turkey arrived 
at the place of its destination, and that we enjoyed a good and happy feast with 
it. I am a veteran ; I have participated in the Sherman expedition to ,-'outh 
Carolina, in the campaign on Vicksburg. Mississippi under Grant ; in the cam- 
paign in Tennessee ; the siege of Knoxville under Buruside ; and have partici- 
pated in the campaign from the Rapidan on to Petersburg. My home is in the 
city of Reading, Pennsylvania. 1 must now come to a close, hoping ihis to find 
you all enjoying good health, and may God be with you in all your future do- 
ings. From a respectful soldier to a soldier's friend.

20 lbs. of cakes ; 9 minced pies ; and 84 lbs. of vegetables from parties un- 
named ; also 1 box of choice delicacies tastefully packed with rousted turkeys 
and chickens, cakes and pies, from Mrs. R. Scott of Oswego City. N. Y., as 
'• Thanksgiviny offerings to the brave defenders of our country.''' Although arriv- 
ing two days alter the appointed Thanksgiving day. they were nevertheless quite 
as acceptable and as highly appreciated upon ihe 26th as they could possibly 
have been upon the 24th day of November. 

These offerings were in themselves worthy the cause, the present aspect of 
which constrained our liable President to proclaim a day of thanksgiving and 
prayer to the Great Giver of all blessings. 

We do not wish to boast ; yet, as we feel that the title you have seen fit to 
h<mor us with — ' Brace defenders of our country,''' has been fairly earned by the 
3.36 veterans present w'th us, yet, we in common with the fiiends and relatives 
at home, can but unite in giving of thanks to the memory of the noble fallen — 
more than 1.000 of whom have left our ranks to try the realities of death, or to 
languish upon beds of pain, or in the loathsome rebel prisons. 

My pen has not the powers of descrip'ion, that would do justice to the advent 
of those home remembrances among us,— scenes which stir to the depths the 
feelings of sturdy men. whose twenty-seven months of hard service, fraught with 
the peril of life and limb, in front of relentless traitors, whose "loud cannon 
thunder and death-dealing shots have but nerved them to suffer, to do and to 
dare," for the maintainance of the best government ever instituted by man. 
These scenes, let me say again, are not to be described— only to be seen and felt. 
Still I can say, that many and warm were the expressions of thankfulness and 
prayers, in deeds, if not in words, which arose from each heart as these kind 
remembi'ances of home scenes and loved ones were spread out before us ; pre- 
senting, as you may well and t'uly judge, almost a novel contrast with the ven- 
erable haid tack so inseparable from the soldier's bill of government fare. 
Therefore, as distributing officer for this regiment, I tender to you the sincere 
and heartfelt thanks of the entire command for your generous Thanksgiving 
offerings. E. U. W.,

Mr. Geoiiue W. BlUiNT : 

Dear Sir — As our Thanksgiving presents were forwarded through you, please 
accept my thanks for your kindness in so doing. I enclose herewith a letter of 
acknowledgment and thanks to the kind donors who have been so mindful of 
our comfort, and regret, lo say that, with the exception of one barrel from Mrs. 
R. S. of Oswego. N. Y., the names of the givers could not be distinguished upon 
the several packages, or they would have been acknowledged to each by letter. 
So, if you think it appropriate, you are at liberty to have these published in 
your New York papers, so that all those kind friends may know that they were 
safely delivered and greatly appreciated. Your friend and obedient servant,

Geo. W. Bli'nt, Esq. : 

Sir — Allow me to return you my most sincere thanks for the dinner which I 
received on Thanksgiving day through your hands. The whole army had their 
share of it, and all that I came in contact with since express themselves in the 
following simple manner. " We can now fight with a light heart. l)ecause we are 
not forgotten by those at home, and may God bless them always." Hoping I 
have not offended in thus making bold to address you these few lines, 
I remain your humble and obedient servant,

In the final distribution of the delicacies which the kind people of New York 
so generously and so bountifully provided for this army for Thanksgiving day, 
a can of tomatos was sent to my tent as my share. In looking upon it. 1 could 
not but wonder who had been so kind. The name wa=i given me, but, yet I was 
in doubt, and I will and must say, I wish my dear good mother knew you. 
She too gave towards the great undertaking ; but how she would take you by 
the hand, and from her heart thank you who, though perchance inadvertently, 
done this for her son. Not only it conies from me, but from the whole army. 
in loud thankful voice to you and to all who in this war at home, surrounded 
by all the comforts and joys which home alone can give, have not forgotten us, 
separated from friends and all who are near to us. and fighting for that glorious 
old flag, which we all so fondly love. Believe me when I say, they will ever be 
remembered for this act of kindness. It has put a new spirit into iis all, and we 
do feel and know that your hearts are with us in this great and glorious work. 
You have led each and every man on that sacred holy day, that day of prayer 
and thanksgiving, to the ruler of the universe, the God of battles, to pledge 
himself anew to the great work given him to do, and all are willing, as of old, 
to sacrifice that dearest of all earthly possession, life, on the altar of the coun- 
try. You have touched the soldier's heart ; you have learned him to feel his 
heart to throb with joy, (he on whom the whizzing bullet or the screaming shot 
and shell could make no impression), but who, like unto the sturdy oak, bends 
like a reed before your kindness. 

Again, accept my warmest thanks for your kind donation, and may God in 
His infinite goodness and mercy grant you all the blessings of this life and in 
the world to come, is the wish of, 

Very respectfully your obedient servant, 

C. A. W.,

P.S. — Should you be pleased to write me an answer. I shall be happy 1o re- 
ceive it, or should you desire, will give you my mother's direction. She lives 
in New York, and I believe but a short distance from you. C. W.

Mrs p. : 

Madam — The turkey bearing your address, and intended for a Thanksgiving 
dinner, had the good fortune (at least to us) to fall into the hands of three New- 
Yorkers and one Pennsylvanian, comprising one mess. 

We had concluded that the people had forgotten us at the North, but happily 
we were disappointed. 

How can we thank our friends. Not in words. But we will try and have our 
deeds in future prove that we can appreciate your kindness in remembering us. 

The turkey will make us two good meals ; and while satisfying ourselves, we 
will not forget the kind heart that can spare time to think of the soldier. 

With many thanks for your present, 1 remain your humble servant.

Mrs. J. N. p. : 

Madam — I have the pleasure to announce to you that your correspondent is in 
receipt of a Thanksgiving present (a voluptuous turkey), one of those that we 
have frequently read about in ancient history ; to describe it would be impossible. 
The taste of a soldier down here upon the feathered tribe can scarcely be pictured, 
but altogether I pronounce it elegant, and it would make a hungry man's soul 
feel proud. We cannot extend sufficient manifold kindness toward the ladies of 
New York. Although I am a Pennsylvanian myself, it appeared to me that it 
was my lot to be the happy recipient of the above named fowl. These friends 
are the means of restoring new vigor in the hearts and lives of the soldiers, 
knowing that part of the human sex (the ladies) are for the preservation of the 
Union and our glorious country, which braces us up to fight our foe and enemies 
of the Southern confederacy. Madam, although strangers, but when such luxu- 
ries and delicacies come before our careworn notice, we must emphatically say 
we cannot be such. 

In behalf of the participants and myself, the receiver, we all heartily join in 
sending our heartfelt thanks to you and the ladies who have been so untiring in 
their efforts to make us comfortable, and reflect upon the day that we celebrated 
Thanksgiving. My friends, I shall now close my epistle, and remain 

Your ever obedient servant,

Headquarters, Army of Potomac, Nov. 24, 1864, 
Gentlemen : 

The generous offering of ihe citizens of New York to the soldiers of the Army 
of the Potomac, calls for an expression of gratitude that words can but feebly 
convey. Thanksgiving upon the tented field was to-day home in miniature. 
Around each soldier's tent were clustered those associations that are garnered 



82 

up iu the heart's brightest moments, and the faithful warriors felt proud that 
friends at home had turned aside for a passing moment from the daily routine 
of husiness to minister to their comforts. He assured this simple act^of yours 
has bound us still closer in the ties of friendship. 

Should the God of battles smile upon the prowess of our arms, we trust that 
next Thanksgiving day may find us gathered around our domestic he;irths. en- 
joying in reality those feelings your kiiulness this cay has created. Returning 
yoii our heartfelt thanks, it is our prayer that health aiid happiness m 'V be your 
daily companions in your pilgrimage through life. 

Very respectfully your obedient servant, 

J. R. C, 

Capt. and C. S. 



Some apprehension was expressed to us that improper articles 
might be introduced, or that advantage might be taken of the 
opportunity, to send to the army insulting communications. So 
far as we heard only one individual degraded himself in this 
way. This person using the name of a citizen ol Albany — 
whether rightfully or wrongfully we cannot say — sent a letter, 
in which blasphemy, indecency and in.sult to our cause were 
combined. The soldier who received it sent it to Gen. Meude's 
Headquarters, and if the writer should ever trust himself within 
the lines of the army, he will be pretty sure to have an oppor- 
tunity to try " hfe in the trenches." 

The expenses and labors of your Committee would have 
been much greater, had not the people in all condition? and 
occupations of life, vied with one another in rendering gratui- 
tous services. It would be impossible for us to particularize 
all who assisted us. The list of the poultry cooked by the 
bakers, hotel and restaurant keepers, shows how extensive their 
labor was. The master of an English ship and his wife volun- 
teered to cook a considerable amount of poultry, and when that 
was done sent for more. A Glerman restaur;tnt keeper and his 
wife heard of the movement rather late, but themselves devoted 
two entire nights to cooking a large amount. 

In other avocations of life we may mention the following : 

The United States, Adams, National, American, Harnden, 
Kingsley, Hope and Long Island Express Companies, deserve 



33 

the first mention. We received from out of this city about 
two thousand packages, and most of which came by these and 
other local expresses, and were carried and delivered without 
charge, promptly and at unusual hours. The American and 
Western Union Telegraph Companies, not only aided us by 
telegraphing our appeal for contributions along their lines, but 
sent many dispatches for us to individuals and to the army. 
Mr. Alexander Kyle, the Superintendent of the store, and Mr. 
Sawyer, the customs officer in charge of Getty's Building, were 
united in their efforts to aid us, and kept the building open 
extra hours at our request. They gave us the labor of all 
their men without charge. Mr. Caleb Lyon voluntarily per- 
formed the duties of receiving and shipping clerk, and was 
very efficient. Among the cartmen who volunteered their 
services, the Committee have a record only of the names of the 
following, but they know that there were others : Messrs. W. 
H. Appelyard, Charles Ackerman, Abrm. Collier, Lewis Allen, 
Joshua Walters, Abrm. Brewer, Wm. Anderson, W. Esler, 
Alleson Jeffrav. 



The dinner to the troops on David's Island, was furnislied 
entirely through the efforts of the following committee of ladies : 
Mrs. Jacob Le Roy, Miss Emily Morris, Miss Catherine Hone, 
Mrs. Geo. T. M. Davis, Mrs. D. Chapman, Mrs. John Keyser. 
Mrs. Horace Webster, Mrs. Henr)^ Chauncey, Mrs. Richard 
Hunt. They were aided by several contributions ; from the 
N. Y. Board of Brokers, from the Ladies of Berkshire, Mass., 
Catskill, and Mount Vernon, N. Y., Kent and Norwalk, Conn., 
and the children of the Ward Schools of New York. 

As several members of the Club were present and assisted 
at this dinner, we have obtained from them a description 
of the same, believing it would be interesting as illustrating 
the way in which the day was generally celebrated in our 
hospitals. 



34 



Provided with abundant supplies, with the consciousness of 
a patriotic impulse, and the knowledge that the like appreci- 
ation of the services of the soldier and the sailor was being- 
shown throughout the army and navy of the United States, 
within a radius of seven hundred miles, and with a lovely 
autumn day of sunshine and purple haze, to accompany us, 
we arrived at David's Island about noon. 

Every thing on the Island wore an appearance of the utmost 
neatness and good order. Surgeon Warren Webster, U. S. A., 
with a medical staff of eleven Assistant Surgeons, and with 
the Chaplain of the Post, received the company at the library. 
This library, a spacious wooden building neatly plastered, 
carpeted and furnished, has over 2,500 volumes, the gift of 
societies and friends, for the free use of the wounded soldiers. 
It has desks and tables with stationery, provided at all times 
for letter writing and a good supply of daily papers and monthly 
periodicals. 

Chaplain Lowrey invited the company to visit the wards of 
the hospital, and then return to the library to assist in raising 
a new American flag, presented by the ladies. 

The same order and cleanliness were observable within the 
wards and mess rooms, that was found without. Each patient 
was on a comfortable bed with white sheets and pillow cases, 
on a clean light iron cot. The walls of the buildings plastered, ; 
the floors scrubbed as white as those of a quaker meeting- 
house. Pictures of favorite Generals adorned the walls. In 
some places the invalids had apparently relieved the tedium 
of their recovery, by frescoing the walls with American flags, 
arms, trophies, etc., in a tasteful and highly ornamental 
manner. 

No difference was discernable between the quarters for the 
white and the colored soldiers ; though in separate wards, all 
were treated alike. There are 1,700 cots and 10 large mes^ 



35 

rooms, which, together with the library, chapel, Medical 
Purveyors and Quartermaster's offices, kitchens and officers' 
quarters, makes quite a village. 

One of the most interesting cases among the wounded soldiers 
was that of Patrick Dillon 82nd N. Y. He was wounded at 
Fair Oaks, the ball lodging somewhere near the spine so 
that it has been found impossible to extract it ; he is able now 
to walk a little with the aid of a crutch and cane, but has to 
pass most of his time seated in his arm chair in the pavilion ; 
his patience and cheerfulness are unfailing, though there are 
hardly any hopes of his being more than an invalid for 
life. Another was Andrew Jackson of Ohio, who was wounded 
at Morris Island ; he has had one leg amputated, and the other 
is worse than useless as he cannot bear his own weight upon 
it ; his only means of locomotion is by sitting down and moving 
by his hands ; his merry voice and laugh, and his violin, were 
among the first sounds we heard on entering the 11th Pavilion. 
Frederick Perry of Mass., lost his right arm in front of Peters- 
burg, he was well, when, by a fall, the wound was reopened, 
and for some time his life was in jeopardy. Though depressed 
by this second illness, and the danger he knew he was in, we 
heard no murmurs. Through the skillful treatment of his 
surgeon, and the kindness of those in the ward with him, par- 
ticularly James Dezell of the 87th N. Y.,now gone to the front, 
he recovered, and on Thanksgiving day he was lying in bed 
with a plate heaped with good things by him, which he was 
enjoying heartily. We have heard that he has since been dis- 
charged and returned home. 

In one ward, the 17th, nearly all the soldiers were maimed 
for life : some without arms, some without legs, others with 
hands or feet gone, faces scarred &c. It would have been a 
sad sight but for their wonderful cheerfulness. One colored 
soldier had lost both an arm and a leg, who, when spoken to> 
said, " he was willing to lose the others in the cause of liberty." 
As an illustration of the remarkable overruling of Providence 



36 

in this war, I will mention that while others were enjoying 
themselves, Joseph Gautier, from Strasbourg in France, was 
suffering terribly from a prolonged illness. It was very painful 
to witness his distress and to know it was impossible in any 
way to relieve him ; he had that day received a letter from 
France informing him that he had become heir to a property 
worth over forty thousand francs. He was comforted with the 
knowledge that this would leave his two orphan children 
in France, well provided for, and died happy with this 
thought, and that he had struck a blow, as he expressed it, 
" for liberty." 

At one o'clock the visitors, accompanied by four or five 
hundred of the convalescent soldiers, assembled around the 
library, and while the new flag was raised, sung the " Star 
Spangled Banner." Mr. John Jay then came forward ;ind 
addressing the ladies and gentlemen who were present, 
and especially the soldiers of the United States who stood 
in line before them, said : 



" The raising of our National flag had been fitly made a part 
of the pleasant ceremonies of to-day, that we might salute 
together this banner which we all regard with such pride and 
affection, and which you of the army have so gloriously defei)d- 
ed against the traitors who would divide our country, receiv- 
ing in its defence the honorable wounds which attest your 
patriotism and your valor. 

In the National thanksgiving that ^n this hour ascends to 
Heaven from the loyal states- and I may here remark, that this 
is the first time in our history that one and the same day has 
been appointed for thanksgiving throughout our broad land — 
what you have done, and what you have suffered for our com- 
mon country, is affectionately remembered. 

We who remain at home in safety, doing what we may to 
uphold the government and sustain our armies, are not forgetful 
of what we owe to the soldiers who fight our battles. We do not 
forget that they are maintaining the life of the nation, the 
integrity of its territory, the supremacy of its government, the 



37 

freedom of ity institutions, the National unity and the National 
honour : we remember also that while maintaining these, 
you have repelled the advance of the enemy, and have preserved 
peace in our borders and quietness in our homes. It is to your 
efforts, and the favour of heaven, that we have been enabled to 
live in prosperity, and to assemble as we are doing for joyous 
thanksgiving. 

Nor is the influence of your work confined to our shores. 
You are maintaining the rightful position of our Republic 
among the great powers of the earth. Some of those powers, 
with small regard to their own honour, are endeavoring to 
destroy us without danger to themselves, by allowing their 
subjects to wage war under the guise of neutrality, and by 
exhibiting a policy as cowardly as it is faithless, in the vain 
attempt to arrest," what they know will be, the progressive in- 
fluence of Free Institutions when we have maintained against 
the assaults of Slavery and Rebellion, the power and principles 
and prestige of our Republic. 

While your countrymen noAv appreciate your services, and I 
know how gratefully you appreciate the kind and thoughtful 
attention yon have received on this island, you need not fear 
that what you have done, and are ready to do, for the country, 
the moment you have recovered from your wounds, will be for- 
gotten, when the present generation shall have passed from 
earth, or that our children to the latest day will not cherish 
your memories and exult in the heroic story of your life. 

As we now bless the memories of those who fought at Bunker 
Hill and Lexington, at Saratoga and at Yorktown, in defence 
of the freedom on which our Republic was founded : so will 
those who are to follow us, bless the memories of the soldiers 
who with the same valor have fought and bled to maintain the 
institutions bequeathed us by our fathers. So will they cherish 
with equal pride the recollection of every battle-field that is 
consecrated with the blood of their ancestors — of Antietam, 
Chancellorsville. Gettysburgh. of the battles of the Wilder- 
ness, and all the rest that have been fought by the Army of 
the Potomac, of the exploits in the West by the army of the 
Cumberland, of Vicksburgh, Port Hudson, Fort Wagner, 
Chatanooga and Atlanta, not forgetting the memorable sea- 
fights unparalleled in history of New Orleans and Mobile Bat. 

In recalling our manifold causes of thanksgiving to-day, there 
is one upon which I need not dwell, the result of the Presidential 



38 

election. That the people of America, should thus with perfect 
calmness, but with irresistible power, have declared their 
sovereign will in favor of National independence and Christian 
civilization : overwhelming the hopes of traitors and of sympa- 
thizers with traitors, who, for the sake of peace, would lower 
our flag to the enemy and compromise with rebels in arras, is a 
cause for joy and gratitude, not simply to the loyal men of this 
nation, but to the friends of liberty throughout the world. 

A new item in our list of blessings comes to us this morning. 
The telegraph brings us stirring rumors of Sherman's victo- 
rious progress in Georgia. It comes in time to give additional 
zest to the thanksgiving entertainment which your kind friends, 
the ladies of New York, have provided for you. Without 
detaining you further, for you are to be addressed also by one 
who has exhibited a generous devotion to the welfare of our 
soldiers, I will close by expressing the hope in which I am sure 
you will all join, that the time may soon come when peace 
and harmony shall be restored in our land, and the rightful 
sovereignty of the nation shall be established firmly and forever 
against traitors at home and foes abroad, so that we may witness 
the early dawning of the day, when throughout the length and 
breadth of our country, the sun shall not rise upon a rebel, nor 
set upon a slave." 



After the cheering which followed Mr. Jay's remarks had 
subsided, Mr. Vincent Colyer was introduced, and spoke 
as follows : 



I am honored by this opportunity of standing before you as 
the representative of the loyal Avomen who have united in the 
Christian and patriotic purpose of hospitably entertaining you 
on this Thanksgiving Day. These loyal ladies know and 
appreciate this occasion ; they know and appreciate what you 
have done for us all, through these last few years of carnage and 
strife ; what self-denials and sufferings you have undergone ; 
what difficulties, obstacles, and bitter enemies you have 
overcome ; what heroic valor, calm fortitude, faithful obedience 
and discipline you have shown ; what wonderful marching, vigi- 
lant watching and splendid fighting you have done ; what vic- 
tories you have won — glories you have achieved — States you 



39 

have reclaimed for our common country. When we look 
from your bleedmg wounds and mutilated bodies, your sunken 
cheeks and emaciated forms, up to this dear old flag, its 
blood-red stripes wear a deeper meaning, and its silver stars 
a more exalted glory. 

We know how you have left wife, children, and parents, to 
eulist in this cause. It was not because you loved them less ; 
but because you loved your country more, for with Americans, 
love of country is second only to love of God, and he who loves 
not his country loves neither his God nor his fellow man. 
And how much would not some of these dear mothers, wives 
and sisters give to be in the place where these loyal women 
now stand ; but as this could not be, all that Christian devotion 
to you, and admiration for your services could do, your friends 
are striving to exteud towards you, in the absence of your 
loved ones. 

On this Thanksgiving day, what gratitude fills the heart ! 
After four short years of war, a rebellion which reared its 
hideous snake-like head, bold, defiant, overtowering from Balti- 
more to Matamoras, from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains, 
now shrinks trembling, whining, cringing in shattered frag- 
ments, with one end in Texas ; the body dissevered in Geor- 
gia, Carolina and Alabama — into which Sherman has plunged 
with a valor so sublime that we hold our breath to hear the re- 
sult, striking like the sword of Joab under the fifth rib of re- 
bellious Abner — while the head is at Richmond, with Grant 
watching it, like Jael by the head of Sisera, with the nail ready 
to be driven into its temples. 

It is a holy day. On this day, years ago, the last regiment 
of i^ritish soldiers was preparing to leave these shores, and the 
young Republic in unrestrained liberty opened her doors to the 
oppressed of all the nations of the earth, save one. To-day 
that one people also, in all the joy of newly found manhood, 
stands free, the enemy himself now putting a sword in the hand 
which but a few months before he only bound with fetters, 
and slavery is forever vanishing from the land. 

With a President whom the nation has recently re-elected 
with so wonderful a unanimity ; with officers in our Army and 
Navy of ability so commanding, they have wo-n the admiration 
of the world ; with soldiers and sailors whose courage, en- 
durance and loftiness of motive equal any ever spoken of 
in any history, what cause have we not for thanksgiving ? 



40 

Harvests so bountiful we could fill a navy with the sur- 
plus ', a public credit so secure its dividends in gold realize a 
premium surpassing all others in the loyal states, a prosperity of 
the whole people so unexampled, how can we, this day, refrain 
from devoutly thanking God for his goodness to us as a nation? 

Do not think your services are not appreciated. All over 
the land the gentle hand of loyal women has been busy striving 
to honor and to serve you. Choosing the firstlings of their 
flocks, the finest from their fields, the sweetest from their 
dairies, they have heaped them up and sent them on to contri- 
bute to your comfort. You are bone of their bone and flesh 
of their flesh. While you live the people will exalt your deeds, 
and when you die cover your graves with garlands. Homes 
are provided for your children, and pensions for your 
widows. 

Poets, play-writers, painters, historians, sculptors, compo- 
sers, will vie with each other to sound your praises. You, 
yourselves, when your fighting is over will command the most 
prosperous livings and the highest offices in the gift of a 
grateful country. 

Yes ! and well will you deserve it all. A restored Union, 
a respected nationality, a free government, is worth all that we 
can give for it ; and to whom will we stand indebted for 
all these blessings so much as to you, brave soldiers and sailors 
of our Army and Navy ? Well may you be cheerful then in the 
midst of your suff'erings, having offered up your lives for your 
countr3''s sake, you find them again restored to you an hundred 
fold in health, riches, and honors. 

Sitting under your own vine and fig tree when this war is 
over, what shall hinder you, or make you afraid ? Surely not 
enemies, for you have fought the most malignant of foes and 
overcome them ; neither sickness, nor wounds, nor pains, for 
you have endured all these like good soldiers and come off the 
conquerors ; nor hardships nor labors, for you are as familiar 
with all these as household words, and they harm you no 
more. 

With a life thus faithfully devoted to our country in the 
past, it remaineth only that for the future we cling unto Him 
who alone commandeth alike the armies of Heaven and the 
Earth, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ, 
our Saviour, Mediator and Redeemer, and the final everlasting 
victory shall be ours. 



41 

At the conclusion of these addresses the company prepai'ed 
lor dinner. The ten mess rooms were arranged for two hundred 
seats in each, and a party often ladies and gentlemen were select- 
ed to wait on the table in each mess. The dinner was in every 
respect equal to that furnished in our first-class American hotels. 
First came soup, oysters ; then turkeys, chickens, roast beef, 
mutton and other meats, with cranberry sauce, celery, and 
every variety of vegetable obtainable in the market ; after 
this the pastry, and much of this was made by the best 
cooks in wealthy private families of the city ; then apples, 
oranges, nuts, raisins, tobacco and segars, coffee and tea, as 
may have been preferred. A blessing was asked in each din- 
ing hall before the meal began. 

After the dinner was over, the company — soldiers and their 
friends — went over to the chapel, a structure, capable of hold- 
ing comfortably eight hundred people, where C. P. Kirkland, 
Esq., addressed them as follows : 



Defenders of our Country — Soldi krs of the Republic : — 

On four previous occasions I have considered myself most 
highly honored and distinguished ; first, when in the third 
month of this war, I made the welcoming address to a noble 
regiment on its way through the City of New York to the 
National Capital ; again, when, some months afterwards, I pre- 
sented to another gallant regiment a splendid flag, to replace 
that which had been riddled by rebel bullets at the first battle 
of Bull Run ; and again, when I introduced to a large con- 
course of his fellow-citizens, who had assembled to do him 
honor, a brave general of our army, who had then recently 
suffered, as many of you have, the loss of a limb for the sake 
of his country ; and for the fourth time, when I was selected 
to address a war-worn commander of a distinguished regiment, 
on the presentation to him, by a large number of his fellow- 
citizens, of a splendid memorial of their appreciation of his 
gallantry on many a well-fought field. These were to me oc- 
casions of the highest gratification — but the present surpasses 
them all in interest, and fills me with emotions of even greater 
satisfaction, for I am now to speak words of cheer, of hope, of 



42 

comfoi't, of earnest gratitude to a host of patriot heroes, who 
have offered themselves on their countr3^'s altar, who have 
bravely fought in many battles, and are now suffering from 
wounds of every kind, and diseases of every form ; and all for 
the sake of the Republic, for the sake of the sacred cause oi free 
institutions, the cause of civil and religious liberty — here and 
everywhere — now and for all time. 

The cause is indeed the noblest that could be presented to 
man ; its sole end and object are the preservation of the 
" Great Republic," the protection of the blessed institutions, 
for which our fathers so manfully struggled through so many 
years of anxiety, and danger, and suffering, and for which they 
endured everything, " even unto death" — and whose grand re- 
sult was the lyirtli of a nation of Freemen ! After this nation, 
thus brought into existence, had lived for eighty years in pros- 
perity and happiness, and was advancing with rapid strides 
to the verv first rank among the peoples of the earth, parricidal 
hands were raised for its destruction ; and by those, too, who 
had enjoyed to the full extent all its blessings, and at the mo- 
ment when they struck the first blow for its overthrow, were 
solely through its means in the perfect fruition of peace, secur- 
ity, political and religious liberty, and, indeed, of every good 
ever vouchsafed by God to man individually, or as a member 
of a State. 

Let this rebellion succeed, and the despots of the world will 
rejoice that this great American experiment has failed, and 
they will receive that result, as well they may, as incontrovert- 
ible evidence of the truth of the assertion, that " man is incap- 
able of self-government," and that he can be ruled only by 
kings and queens, and titled orders. It is to save your coun- 
try and the world from these consequences, and to resist and 
defeat this wicked attempt, that you and your brave com- 
patriots in arms have freely and heroically met peril, and faced 
death. But you know and feel that the cause is worth the 
sacrifice, vast as it is, for it is the cause of Liberty, a cause 
dear to. all good men in all countries, and which has, as we 
reverently believe, the favor of the Almighty. 

Such a cause cannot fail ; and the evidences are daily ac- 
cumulating that the last hours of this infamous Rebellion are 
approaching ; that its life-blood is fast ebbing away, and that 
at no remote period we shall see our glorious flag floating as 
proudly and as beautifully as ever over every portion of our 



43 

country. Grant, Sheridan, Sherman, are our great pacificators, 
and ere long they will " conquer a peace," the benificent fruits 
of which will be enjoyed alike by the loyal man, and by the 
deluded victim of the slave aristocracy. 

Great rewards belong to you, my friends. Now, you have 
the grateful affection of your countrymen, their respect and 
admiration ; all these you will enjoy in all their freshness dur- 
ing your lives ; and when you are called on to obey the last 
summons, and to close your eyes on all things earthly, you will 
have the happy consolation of knowing that your memories 
will be cherished, and your deeds of gallantry become as 
household words to all who survive you, and to generations 
yet unborn. And why should not this be? We all of this 
day love to dwell on our Revolutionary fathers, and to recount 
the deeds of those who suffered in that great struggle. The 
only just boast of ancestry in our land is the claim of descent 
from an officer or soldier of the Revolution ; those men erected 
our beautiful political Temple ; you do an equally hallowed 
work, you preserve it 1 Believe me, then, when I say, that 
your names and memories will hereafter be held in the same 
grateful remembrance as is now awarded by all of us of this 
generation to the heroes of the War of Independence. 

How grateful it must be to you and to all here and in other 
lands, who love mercy, kindness, and philanthropy, to witness 
the unprecedented offerings of the people of America on the 
altar of benevolence I The Sanitary Commission had received 
in money and property up to the first of July last, fifteen mil- 
lions of dollars ; the Christian Commission, two and a half mil- 
lions ; and within the last fortnight, your fellow-citizens, in re- 
sponse to the call of a patriotic association in the City of New 
York, have contributed in money, and in various articles suit- 
able to the occasion, no less than two hundred thousand dollars 
for a Thanksgiving dinner to your fellow-soldiers of the differ- 
ent armies of the Republic. The world has never witnessed 
such exhibitions of the best and most God-like feelings of the 
human heart. But I beg you not to forget, that for those mani- 
festations of kindness, sympathy, humanity, in its most exalted 
form, you and all of us are indebted to that blessed Christian 
religion which is so indispensable to individual as well as to 
national well-being. In heathen times, in the most palmy days 
of Greece and Rome, amid all the splendors of intellect and 
genius which illustrated them, no such offerings on the altar of 
philanthropy were known ; you hear of no hospitals among them 



44 

for the sick ; of no associations for the rehef of poverty and dis- 
tress ; of no sympathetic efforts to alleviate human suffering. 
No, all this is the fruit of that revelation, which pointed out to 
us in letters of living light our duties alike to our creator and to 
our fellow-men. To what else than this are you, in this plea- 
sant hospital, and on this very day, indebted for the self- 
sacriticing labor, the motherly and sisterlj' affection, I may well 
say, the " blessed kindness" of these ladies of New York and 
its vicinity, who leave the comforts of elegant life to minister 
to your wants, to alleviate your sufferings, and to enable you 
to realize in a good degree the comforts of your own homes 
and firesides. These Christian women, representing as they 
do the worth, intelligence, and social refinement of our great 
metropolis, present a beautiful example. They have their re- 
ward here in the outpourings of your grateful hearts ; and here- 
after, it will not be withheld from them in the " mansions of the 
blessed." 

Allow me to say that I feel a greater pride, and deem it a 
greater honor to speak to you, my country's defenders, than I 
should regard it to address an assemblage of all the crowned 
heads and titled nobility of Europe. My heart is in this work ; 
my head only would be in that. 

Again, I assure you that you have the sympathy and grati- 
tude of your countrymen throughout the land, and their earnest 
hopes and devoutest prayers for your restoration to health and 
usefulness. May we soon all, citizens and soldiers, men and 
women, young and old, mingle our rejoicings that war is at an 
end — peace restored ; that justice, truth, right, have been vic- 
torious, treason and rebellion crushed out for ever, and that the 
dear old flag, the " Star Spangled Banner," waves, and for 
ages to come will wave, " o'er the land of the free, and the 
home of the brave." 



At the conclusion of Mr. Kirkland's address, the compan}^ 
embarked on board the steamer, placed at their disposal by 
Col. Chas. McDougall, Medical Director of the Department, and 
returned to the city before dark, feeling that they had enjoyed 
a day long to be remembered. 

In conclusion, your Committee beg to congratulate you upon 
the grand success which attended this movement. Though 



45 

inaugurated as early as the fourth of November, it was impos- 
sible to do anything till after the election on the eighth. 
Within a fortnight after that time we had received the large 
contributions in money and supplies, and sent them to their 
destination. So great and so prompt a success could not have 
attended any such movement, had not it touched the heart of 
the country, that heart which is ever prompt to respond to 
every appeal in behalf of those fighting for all that we hold 
dear. 

For the Committee, 

CHARLES H. MARSHALL, Chairman, 
THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Treasurer, 
GEORGE BLISS, Jr., Secretary.
